Read the following passage carefully and then answer the question that follows by choosing the best option out of the four alternatives. Passage: Another marvel on the far side of the lake was a little farm that felt like a secret inside the busy city. Some of the thin Karnataka labourers even looked away when children came to dig in the soil and eat what they found. However, on this side of the lake, the greatest pleasure for the children was the jamun tree. A few months earlier, Kalu and Sunil had enjoyed a feast sitting in its branches, shaking down a few berries for their friend Mirchi. At that time they discovered the second coolest thing about the jamun tree, namely that there were parrots nesting in it. Since then, some other road boys had been capturing the parrots one by one to sell at the Marol Market, but Sunil convinced Kalu that the birds should be left free. Every morning Sunil listened for the parrots squawking to make sure they had not been abducted during the night. Kalu was an expert in searching the recycling bins inside airline catering compounds. Private waste collectors emptied these large dumpsters regularly, but Kalu had mastered the schedule of the trash trucks. On the night before collection, he would climb over the barbed wire fences and raid the overflowing bins. In time, this routine became known to the local police. He kept getting caught until some constables proposed a different arrangement. Kalu could keep his metal scrap if he agreed to pass on any information he picked up on the road about local drug dealers. Question: According to the passage, what was described as the second coolest thing about the jamun tree?

Introduction / Context:
This is another detail based reading comprehension question from the same passage about Kalu, Sunil, the jamun tree, and the parrots. The focus now is on what the narrator explicitly calls the "second coolest thing" about the jamun tree. Careful reading and memory of the passage wording are required to answer accurately.

Given Data / Assumptions:
- The passage mentions both a feast in the tree and the presence of parrots.
- It clearly uses the phrase "second coolest thing" in connection with the jamun tree.
- We must identify which detail is labelled that way, not simply any interesting fact about the tree.

Concept / Approach:
To answer this, we need to locate the exact sentence that contains the phrase "second coolest thing". The passage states that Kalu and Sunil had a feast in the branches and then says that at that time they discovered the second coolest thing about the jamun tree, which was that parrots were nesting in it. The feast is an enjoyable event, but the nesting parrots are specifically described as the second coolest feature.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Identify the part of the passage that talks about the "second coolest thing". Step 2: Read that sentence completely. It mentions that Kalu and Sunil had a feast and during that time they discovered something else. Step 3: Observe that this "something else" is that there were parrots nesting in the jamun tree. Step 4: Compare this information with the given options. Step 5: Option B exactly states "There were parrots nesting in the tree", which matches the description.

Verification / Alternative check:
Reading the relevant lines again confirms the order: first pleasure from eating berries in the branches, then discovery of parrots nesting. The narrator labels the presence of parrots as the second coolest thing. No other fact in the passage carries this specific label. This confirms that Option B is the only correct answer.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Option A, "Shaking down the berries for Mirchi", describes part of the feast, which was already happening before the second coolest thing was discovered. Option C, "Selling parrots in the Marol Market", is an action by other boys, not a cool feature of the tree. Option D, "Capturing parrots sitting in the tree", again refers to the road boys behaviour, not a positive feature. Option E, "Discovering the little farm near the lake", belongs to the far side of the lake and is unrelated to the phrase in question.

Common Pitfalls:
Students may rush and choose Option A because the feast in the branches sounds enjoyable, or confuse the various details related to the parrots. It is important to pay attention to the narrator's own labels such as "greatest pleasure" or "second coolest thing". These are strong clues about which detail the question is referring to.

Final Answer:
The second coolest thing about the jamun tree, according to the passage, was that There were parrots nesting in the tree.
